Abstract excerpt
MSH6 has been implicated in repair of single base mispairs and single-base deletion/insertion mutations. Established MSH6-null mice present a frequent occurrence of gastrointestinal tumors without microsatellite instability (MI), suggesting the possibility of the APC gene being a mutational target. Because human ampullary carcinomas and gastric cancers manifest frequent missense or I-base deletion mutations in...
